April/May 2024 Newsletter

April/May 2024

Your update on the latest news and events from AHMP.


 Message from the Board of Directors

“April Showers Bring May Flowers.”  This statement seems to sum up much of the ongoings of AHMP over the last several weeks and the chaos/joy of a busy and bustling Spring.  As many of you are already aware, AHMP experienced a lapse in administrative management support in early April due to a series of events, which caused the previous management company to close their doors suddenly and unexpectedly.

In the weeks following this news, the AHMP Executive Committee, Board of Directors, Committee Leads, and Volunteers temporarily assumed all administrative responsibilities.  These responsibilities were in addition to the roles we lead in our personal and professional lives.  A sincere THANK YOU to all of you, for your patience as we rolled up our sleeves and worked to sow seeds for the future of AHMP.

If your chapter/section would like to submit information to be included in upcoming newsletters, please send your ideas to [email protected].

As with any change, there is an opportunity for growth and reflection.  Through these last several weeks, the AHMP Volunteer Leadership Teams have become more familiar with the inner workings of our administrative operations and finances.  We have grown stronger with a better understanding of the time and resources required for the successful day-to-day operations of AHMP.  We have also gained a greater appreciation for the amount of work that goes into keeping AHMP afloat.  We have reestablished our roots and reenlisted the support of an amazing administrative team.  Rest assured, AHMP is set up for continued success!

Speaking of success…we are all looking forward to an outstanding EHS HAZMAT Summit (formerly the AHMP Annual Conference) in Kansas City this summer.  We had an excellent response to the Call for Abstracts and are working out the final planning & scheduling details.  This effort has been led by an amazing group of volunteers through the Professional Development & Conference Planning Committees.  Other highlights for the EHS HAZMAT Summit include: Awards Ceremony & Recognition, Vendor & Sponsor Exhibition, Presentation of Bylaw Updates, Call for Nominations to Board of Directors, Networking Events, and LOTS of Technical Content. I look forward to seeing you there!
